People not on SNAP make crap food choices too. If they don't get November benefits, so be it. If Trump uses its rainy day fund to pay benefits, so be that. Shutdowns should have consequences.

People not on SNAP have other problems besides diet that we are paying for. Now, if I only had $2.10 to spend per person per meal I might would cut corners too. You can only eat so many beans and potatoes a week.

Average SNAP benefit for a single person is $292/month.

$292 divided by 90 meals = $3.24 per meal.

Of course, babies fed on formula are quite expensive, but that only lasts a couple of years, then their share of SNAP food bennies would feed three kids.

The reason SNAP benefits aren't better managed is that there are just too many on the program, 40 million or so. It would cost more to properly manage it than is lost due to poor management.

Depends on where you shop. My store has few such shoppers. Too upscale (read expensive) for them. I rarely see a child there either. They shop at the (so-called) discount supermarkets.
